Lazy Girls' Guide To Smooth, Shiny Hair

As much as every girl loves her hair, some would definitely admit that they're lazy at times to give enough attention to their hair. Some days you might not get even an hour to spare, and the other times you may be plain lazy to do anything about your tresses. However, just because you're lazy, doesn't mean you can't have smooth and beautiful hair. Add smoothness and shine to your gorgeous tresses by following these tips:

Use dry shampoo at night

If you know that you're not going to find any time to wash your hair in the morning, use a dry shampoo the night before. Dry shampoo helps reduce greasiness from your hair and scalp. It will work on your hair overnight and allow you to go without washing your hair for a day or two.

Use sauna time to deep condition

We understand that you may not be up to working hard on managing your tresses. However, if you like to spend your lazy hours in a sauna, use that time to deep condition your hair and surprise yourself with the results. Massage your hair with a natural hair conditioner and put on a shower cap. The heat from the sauna will help the conditioner penetrate into your hair better.

Put on a cap

If you don't wish to use a pile of products on your tresses or if you don't have the time to do that, cover your hair with a hair net while you blow dry on a low setting. The net prevents frizz and helps your curls stay intact. 

Do this for smooth hair

For moisturized and smooth hair, prepare a mixture containing one cup of water with one tablespoon honey in it. Apply it to your hair and leave it overnight for amazing smooth hair after you rinse it the next day. 

Make pillows work for you

If possible, use a silk or satin pillowcase while you sleep. Don't forget to wash the covers regularly. It will prevent hair dryness and allow your smooth hair to stay the same effortlessly. 

What to avoid

Here are few things you must avoid to ensure that your hair stays protected: 
  • Non-organic chemicals for styling your hair 
  • Washing off the conditioner completely – try leave-in conditioners for a change 
  • Overusing heating tools like straighteners and curlers as they can leave your hair dry and brittle 

Stick to these tips and get healthy, shiny hair effortlessly!
